Returning

Greetings.
I'm returning to CoH since 2005. I got the Going Rogue pack and will be starting a new character.

Since 2005 is there anything major I should know, any tips hints certain builds to aim towards or stay away from etc?

Thanks

Wow...there's a huge amount of stuff that's changed.

The biggest things I can think of are Enhancement Diversification (ED) and Invention Origin Enhancements (IO and their set bonuses), plus the in-game economy necessary to support the loot for IOs.

Also getting merits of various types is probably better than chasing any influence, once you get your seed capital going.

And welcome back.

Edit: Oh yeah...with the advent of global friends and channels most of the action isn't at the zone or SG/coalition level anymore. Global chat channels tend to be where everyone hangs out. JFA2010 and Justice United are the big'uns.

Just pretend like you bought a new game, would probably be easier that way. Welcome back.

I think the biggest change since you left is..... Positron took off his helmet.

So when you see the guy that looks like Michael Chiklis in power armor in the middle of Steel Canyon, it's just Positron.


And welcome back!

We was talkin' about the cake with the pliers in it.

Hey! Wouldn't puttin a file in the cake be better than pliers? Pliers don't do nuthin for gettin outta the cell.

Cymbals are the instruments.

Little hats with symbols would be cool, though. New costume part!

Why would you want symbols on your hat? That would give me a headache!
